The Simple Life

* re-posting my very first post in this blog- this was originally posted April 2009, in a few months, this blog will turn three years old :)

I am here :) My new home. I hope I will like it here and will not be moving soon. I had been contemplating and had mentioned it to some friends about my plans of having a blog somewhere else other than Friendster where I get to have my own freedom. Freedom to write about what I wanted, and being able to be present with my feelings. Freedom to design my page the way I like it. For now, blogspot is my new home, and I hope some of my readers from my old blog will find me here, celebrating "The Joys of Simple Life".

Living life can be hard today, I have to say it so
But I have learned if I stop and pray
I get the grace to go.
And I have found by slowing down
I have more time to live the simple lifeThe simple life. All free from strife.So glad that I have found the simple life.

Living life in the passing lane, it’s near insane to me; ‘Cause soon your life will be washed away By the pouring rain to the sea. But I have found by slowing down I have more time to live the simple life

The simple life. All free from strife. So glad that I have found the simple life.

The simple life is the way to go though the pace is slow for some, But I’ll have peace in my heart to show when the race of life is done. For I have found by slowing down I have more time to live the simple life

Hi Betchai, I have long wanted to tell you that having your own domain and blog is so much better and yes... it is more liberating, having to design and write without anybody setting limits on what you can do with your blog. Although I much prefer self-hosted WordPress than Blogger.

I love the song lyrics and your blog title is very meaningful, it affirms the path that I have chosen in life. :) I am definitely looking forward to your posts here.

thak you for these lovely lyrics, so true the wisdom in them...the image from your home country (so soul-recharging colours) fits perfectly to this blog, great that you re-posted it, as I have missed the original one:-)
